HETESU(N) MEELO MAARAA MUNIVARO

BY SEYYED IMAAMSHAAH

     
jeere viraa hetesu(n) meelo maaraa munivaro
            ane mukhe te saachee vaannee bolo
            neet neet darshan keeje dev naa(n)
            bhaai sutak paatak kholo..............................1

Dear brothers: With love have a gathering, O my believers and 
speak from your mouths only the truth. Everyday (enjoy or seek) 
the Vision of the Lord. Brother open up your sins and irreligious 
activities(for repentance and purification).


jeere viraa gurgat ga(n)gaa teerathmaa(n)he naahi-e
            ane nirmal keejee-e man
            paanch padaarath paamee-e
            jo purav hove punya...................................2

Dear brothers: Bath in the abode wherein the Guide, the Jamaat, 
the Ganges and the place of pilgrimage are all present (i.e. JamaatKhaanaa), 
and make your heart(mind) spotless. You will attain the five essential 
virtues i.e, truth, patience, forgiveness, faith and remembrance of the Lord, 
if your deeds of the past lives are complete and perfect.

[Since prayers and purifying rituals take place in JamaatKhaanaa, 
it serves as a purifying place for the soul, hence bathing of the soul 
must take place there. This is in contrast to the bathing that the 
Hindus perform at the Ganges as part of the pilgrimage. 
The presence of the 'Gat', the congregation, is to provide 
support for the individual search for enlightenment.]


jeere viraa purav punya vinaa kyaa(n)thee paamee-e
            ane saacho te satpa(n)th saar
            satpa(n)th padaarath paamee-e
            bhaai joi dil hove paak...............................3

Dear brothers: Without complete and perfect deeds of the past lives, 
how can one attain(the spiritual benefits)? The essence of the True Path 
is the Truth. One can only attain the substance and the mysteries of the 
True Path if brother, the heart is pure.


jeere viraa paak saahebjeenu(n) naam chhe
            tene ja(m)pee-e saas usaas
            dur ma dekho dil maa(n)he vase
            jem cha(m)paa ful maa(n)he vaas.......................4

Dear brothers: The Name (or Word, Command) of the Imaam is holy and  true. 
Remember it upon every breath. Do not regard(the Lord) as being remote as 
He is present in the heart like the presence of the fragrance in a flower.

jeere viraa romerome maaro shaah vase
            ane a(n)tar nahi ek teel
            evu(n) jaannee ne bhagataai keejee-e
            shaah paratak betthaa dil.............................5

Dear brothers: Within every hair of my body, my Lord resides and He is not remote 
even by a distance of one grain of simsim. By regarding Him thus, perform your 
devotions; the Lord is present and seated in the heart.


jeere viraa sat bolo ane sate chaaljo
            ane sat samo nahi koi saar
            sakall ved sate rachyaa
            bhaai sate utarso paar................................6

Dear brothers: Speak about truth and conduct yourselves truthfully. 
And there is nothing as exalted and pure as the truth. All the scriptures 
have been created out (or for the sake) of truth. Brothers, by truth you 
will cross over the limits of this material existence.


jeere viraa sat ma chhoddo maaraa munivaro
            ane sat chhoddaye pat jaay
            imaan sareekho divaddo
            tene ajvaalle shaah paai..............................7

Dear brothers: Do not abandon the truth, O my believers. 
The one who abandons the truth loses all respect and dignity. 
Imaan is compared to a Lamp, through the brightness of which, 
the Lord is attained.


jeere viraa rahennee ajvaallee chaa(n)d su(n)
            ane divas ajvaallo sur
            tem ghatt ajvaallo imaansu(n)
            chaudise varase nur...................................8

Dear brothers: The brightness of the night comes from the moon and the 
brightness  of the day comes from the sun. In the same manner the 
brightness of the body comes from 'Imaan' (faith). It lights the four directions 
(everywhere; zaahir, baatin, awwal, aakhar).


jeere viraa nur naaraayannjeenu(n) teeyaa(n) vase
            jeesghatt saacho imaan
            tene devlok parnnaam kare
            pachhe vaaso te vaiku(n)tth tthaam....................9

Dear brothers: The Light of the Lord resides in the heart which has true faith. 
To such a soul, even the spirits of the heavens offer salutations and in 
the hereafter, an abode in paradise is awaiting it.


jeere viraa bhanne sayyed imaamshaah sunno munivaro
            tame dekho acha(m)be saar
            chhelee naav kal jug nee
            bhaai imaani utarshe paar............................10

Dear brothers: Sayyed Imaamshaah teaches, listen believers. 
Consider this astonishing mystery. The last boat is of the present era. 
Brothers, the faithful ones will cross over the ocean of this material 
existence (by boarding it).
